Was curious about the source, the source is from Anthony Irwin for anyone who’s looking for it.

Guarantee that was to please rich Paul.

They should’ve just gone for Whitmore when he fell that low. But I honestly don’t like the fact that the scouting department wasn’t allowed to have final say with their track record.

Surprised jaquez wasn’t the alternative prefer him over white more

Even if we picked whitmore where was his mins coming because that’s Rui spot.

This is a nothing post. Our guy was drafted one spot earlier by Atlanta so they went with a secondary option. And hindsight is 20/20. If people knew Whitmore or JJJ would be this good they would have been drafted top 10.

Yes I agree that we should have drafted those players mentioned in comments. BUT: drafting Whitemore would not have mattered bc our idiot coach likes to play small ball.. I think we should fire the film room people, they must be showing Ham old coach games of golden state’s Run TMC!

90% of Lakers fans were saying to take Whitmore. But honestly, is JHS even gonna be on this team past the summer? He barely made it past the trade deadline.

So what’s the sentiment around Anthony Irwin. I stay away from social media so have no idea which of these “twitter insiders” actually have some credibility.

So I definitely hate Pelinka’s vision for the PG position. It is tough to run an unathletic in modern NBA.

Guy is a shit GM. This organization has the shitty trifecta. Shit owner, shit GM, shit coach

i guarantee he turns it around and turns into a good-great player, problem is the timeline we’re in rn doesn’t allow for projects to develop.

I guess this was Lebron’s and AD’s fault too since they get blamed for the GM’s decisions 😂

This is pure bullshit from Irwin. The call to draft JHS was televised and Jesse Buss was sitting right next to Pelinka when the decision was made. Irwin expects you to believe that Pelinka overruled Jesse Buss who is the Director of Scouting for the Lakers.
This is the type of shit that made me stay far away from Irwin as a credible source, the guy is literally a clown. No one is overruling Jesse or Joey Buss except the members of the Buss Family Trust.
Also, whether you like it or not this team needs a future after Lebron. Players like JHS, Max Lewis and Christie are going to be starting caliber players after they develop them. JHS is 6’5 215lbs with handles and can defend any PG in the league. He needs to get caught up to NBA speed and that’s going to take time but he will be starting in the NBA. Read up about him, he’s been getting ready for the NBA since he was 16 years old with diet and nutrition. That’s why he’s already so in shape but you can’t expect every NBA prospect to be NBA ready at 20 years old.
Anthony Black who was taken above him has a clown stat line playing 12 minutes a game and their fanbase isn’t hounding him like you idiots. Relax and let the kid settle in for a year before you start judging him.

It’s all because JHS has a Mamba Mentality tattoo and because FINO stands for Failure Is Not Option.
That spoke to Pelinka. 🙄

Failin’ Hood Schifino makes $3.7 million. Call the cops

They chose a guard because I think they overvalued every wing on this team. Max barely gets run times
Prince is Middelton in the eyes of Darvin
It took this long for Rui to finally get a consistent burn and a starting role even then Ham be bullshitting him at times.
Cam had a good run to start the year but tapered off real quick not even cuz he bad but he just gets played too much and is overvalued by Ham.
also Vando has been hurt most of the season.
Even if a Whitmore or Jaquez was drafted they’d prob be rotting on the bench lucky if they got any burn at all.

So Anthony Irwin is gonna make sure he’s never allowed near a laker player or facility after this..his bias towards hating Rob and staying impartial is so unprofessional.

According to Anthony Irwin? How is it that the most outrageous fucking posts in this subreddit this year have all been from this guy who this subreddit, for years, agreed was a shit source of anything. What changed? Did he throw shit at the wall and some of it finally stuck?

IMO, Whitmore is a gamble AT the time. A lot of team were concern. Obviously didn’t turn out but if we did draft him and he gets injured, then the story is why pick Whitmore. I understand that but jaime was there. I guess he didn’t want him because of rui?

This man put together a championship team, got us said championship and people still talking about Westbrook in the comments. Lakers fans are truly insufferable 😂

If true he needs to be gone
[Damn.](https://www.reddit.com/r/lakers/comments/18s2le8/daily_lakers_discussion_thread/kf5kgkx/?context=3) This Irwin article isn’t completely true though, Bufkin wasn’t the only guy the scouts were eyeing.
Pelinka is a bum
